Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a printed document in which a bar code is printed on the document and the bar code is entirely covered by a scratch-off layer. When the scratch-off layer is removed, the bar code may be scanned to thereby authenticate the printed document.
- Scratch-off type lottery tickets are those having at least one area over printed with an opaque latex ink.
- the latex ink dries it forms a protective coating that can be scratched off to reveal pre-printed game data indicating whether or not a prize has been won.
- One method of authenticating a lottery ticket is to print a bar code on the bottom side thereof.
- the retail store owner can authenticate the ticket by reading the exposed bar code on the bottom side of the ticket with a scanner or other suitable device.
- Bar codes currently used on lottery tickets suffer from two major disadvantages.
- the bar codes are generally one dimensional and are comprised of at least 10 and sometimes as many as 43 or more characters to be printed on the lottery ticket.
- the number of characters occupies a great deal of space on scratch-off lottery tickets which are typically only 4" long and 2" wide. It is because the typical bar code takes up a large amount of space on the lottery ticket, that the bar code has been printed only on the bottom side or non-game data side of the lottery ticket.
- the present invention is directed to the authentication of printed documents and especially lottery tickets.
- the printed document is provided with a bar code covered by a scratch-off layer which is placed over the entire bar code.
- the bar code is therefore hidden from view until the scratch-off layer is removed.
- the bar code is covered by a scratch-off layer which is removed only by authorized personnel. Therefore, in accordance with one aspect of the invention, tampering with the scratch-off layer itself at least raises a question as to whether the printed document is authentic.
- the bar code is imprinted in the same area occupied by the game data which together are covered by a scratch-off layer.
- the purchaser of the lottery ticket is permitted to remove the scratch-off layer. Authentication of the ticket is then made by scanning the exposed bar code.
- the area occupied by the bar code can be minimized so that the location of the bar code is not restricted.
- the bar code and accompanying scratch-off layer can be either on the back of the ticket or on the front of the ticket.
- bar codes were limited to the back of the ticket because they occupied a relatively large area, thereby severely hampering the imprinting of game data, art work and other information on the front of the ticket.
- the present invention is directed to a printed document such as a lottery ticket comprising:
- the present invention also concerns a method for authenticating a printed document in which the scratch-off layer is removed to reveal the entire bar code authentication means.
- the bar code authentication means can be read and compared with a predetermined list of bar code identification means in the form of numbers and/or symbols such that if the bar code identification means appears on the predetermined list, the printed document is authentic. If the bar code is spaced apart from the game data and covered with a separate scratch-off layer, then removal of the scratch-off layer itself constitutes a mode of authentication of the lottery ticket.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bottom side of a printed document in the form of a lottery ticket employing a bar code in accordance with the prior art
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a lottery ticket with a bar code covered by a scratch-off layer in accordance with the present invention
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention in the form of a lottery ticket with a scratch-off layer covering a bar code which is separated from another scratch-off layer covering game data;
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the invention in the form of a lottery ticket with a bar code and game data covered by a single scratch-off layer.
- the present invention is generally directed to printed documents which have a bar code authentication means completely covered by a scratch-off layer. Because the bar code is not exposed to the public, counterfeiting and tampering with the bar code is prevented or at least inhibited.
- Bar codes have been previously used to authenticate lottery tickets.
- a prior art lottery ticket 2 shown with its bottom side 4 facing upwards.
- the surface 4 contains instructional material generally designated by the numeral 6 for the ticket and a bar code display 8 containing a plurality of symbols such as bars 10 and spaces 12 capable of identifying an authentic ticket.
- the bar code is always exposed, from the time it is sold to the time it is presented to a lottery sponsor for authentication. Because the lottery ticket is exposed, a counterfeiter may alter the bar code or attach a new bar code for the purposes of collecting a prize on a counterfeit lottery ticket.
- a bar code is used for authentication purposes but, unlike prior art devices, the entire bar code is covered with a scratch-off layer.
- the bar code may be covered by a separate scratch-off layer or by the same scratch- off layer used to cover the game data. Only when the scratch-off layer is removed is the bar code revealed.
- the lottery sponsor may scrutinize any ticket that is presented for collection if the scratch-off layer has been altered or removed. If a single scratch-off layer is used, any attempt to alter the bar code will likely result in an effect on the game data which will also likely be scrutinized by a lottery sponsor.
- a printed document 20 in the form of a lottery ticket in accordance with the present invention which has a bar code 22 imprinted on a surface 24 of the printed document. It will be understood that the surface 24 of the printed document 20 may be the top side or the bottom side of the printed document.
- the bar code 22 is covered in its entirety by a scratch-off layer 26. Accordingly, when the printed document (lottery ticket) is sold, the bar code can not be seen by the purchaser of the lottery ticket. It is only when the scratch-off layer is removed by the lottery sponsor that the bar code becomes visible and can be read by a optical scanner or the like. If the bar code is presented with the scratch-off layer removed, the sponsor may reject the ticket. Thus, it is the absence of removal or alteration of the scratch-off layer which itself assists in determining whether a lottery ticket is authentic.
- the bar code and its overlaying scratch-off layer can be printed on the front side of the lottery ticket along with the game data which is covered by a separate scratch-off layer.
- a lottery ticket 30 having a top side 32 having imprinted thereon game data represented by numeral 34 and a bar code 36.
- Each of the game data 34 snd bar code 36 are covered by separate scratch-off layers 38 and 40, respectively.
- the bar code remains hidden until the scratch- off layer is removed by a lottery sponsor to reveal the bar code.
- the bar code is then read by a scanner and if it is a member of a predetermined list, then the lottery ticket is authenticated. Counterfeiting by replacement of alteration of the bar code is determined because in order to engage in such activity the scratch-off layer would have to be removed.
- a single scratch-off layer covers both the game data and the bar code.
- a printed document 50 in the form of a lottery ticket having a top side 52 having imprinted thereon game data 54 and a bar code 56, each covered by a single scratch-off layer 58.
- the game data bar code may be printed anywhere in the designated area covered by the scratch-off layer so long as each can be read by the human eye and an optical scanner or the like, respectively.
- the game data 54 can be imprinted around the bar code as shown specifically in Figure 4 or superimposed thereon. All that is required is that the purchaser of the ticket be able to read the game data to see if a prize has been won. Of course, the lottery sponsor must be able to read the bar code to authenticate the lottery ticket.
- UPC Universal Product Code
- Code 39 Code 39
- interleaved 2 of 5 Code Code 93
- Code 128 Code 128
- Examples of two dimensional bar codes are the stacked bar code containing several lines of bar code stacked one upon the other. Examples include Code 16K, Code 49, MLC-D2 and Code PDF417.
- Another two dimensional bar code comprises a matrix code comprised of dots and spaces in a two dimensional matrix.
- Examples of two dimensional matrix codes are Code one, Vericode Code and Data Matrix Code.
